Steyr Plus 70-90 / 870-1200

The Steyr Plus series initially had 2 large models: the 70 and 90 introduced in 1968. The power corresponded to the model designation, with 4 cylinders in the smaller and 6 in the larger. The front of the tractors, designed in a modern style, was quite long. The transmission was a ZF synchronized 12+6. The mechanical quick shift was pre-selected, and the gear change was made by pressing the clutch pedal. The steering was hydrostatic. The four-wheel-drive model also had brakes on the front axle. Draft sensing was done through the lift arm.

In 1969, the model designations changed to 870 and 1090. That same year, both models were seen in Finland as Skandeland Ky started sales there. The price was significantly higher than other tractors, so sales remained limited to individual units. In Finland, the cab used was the Swedish Fernmo.

In the early 1970s, more models were introduced: the 1100 and 1200 were equipped with more powerful 6-cylinder engines. Hydraulic output was slightly higher than on the 1090, and draft sensing was included as standard; otherwise, the technology was the same. A more powerful version of the 870, the 980, was also introduced, with a slightly larger 4-cylinder engine (80 hp). In 1976, a more advanced enclosed cab was introduced.
